"has led to the country's complex relationship with machines."

Oh, yes! That would be the relationship where these 'complex machines' tell people what to coz they'd be lost without them. They seem to actually believe Japan is the only country embracing AI. I can tell you for a fact Japan lags behind many countries in "The West" for its use of machines and AI. You only have to go to a city hall and watch all the ditherers running around looking for a piece of paper to get four or five red stamps on it to know Japan has not embraced or utilised a complex relationship with machines and AI.

Why is it always "The West"? I cannot think of a more derogatory or racist statement. I'm sure that Japanese wouldn't appreciate being represented as just Asians. Do they not understand that "the west" refers to Europe only and the term goes back 300 years? The US is east from Tokyo and Aus/NZ are south.
